Re: [ha-Safran] recent experiences with e readers

[Lisa Silverman]

Hi Clare,

I can give you a lot of information about our kindle program, and since others 
requested this information, I am posting to the list.

We have not used Whispercast, but we found out that it is only for new accounts 
(so we can't use it as we have 6 kindles loaded with over 100 books).You have 
to buy one book per kindle, and that costs significantly more money.  Educators 
are talking about this, of course, and I suggest you look at this recent post 
with the comments and see what you can glean from it:

http://edukindle.ning.com/profiles/blogs/whispercast-changes-everything#comments


Right now, we are allowing our 6 (old!) kindles to be checked out by patrons, 
and we are loading each book we purchase to all 6 kindles as that seems to be 
allowed by Amazon at this time, although it is sort of murky. We like to have 
more copies of the same book, particularly for our book groups.

At this time, we have purchased a refillable American Express credit card that 
is attached to the Amazon account used to buy kindle books. Each book is 
purchased only by library staff and subtracted from the balance. There is the 
danger of patrons purchasing an item on their own, however it is possible to 
"de-authorize" the kindle from the account so that won't happen. Unfortunately, 
it is somewhat of a pain to do that. We have a user agreement that patrons need 
to sign that states that they will not buy books themselves. Whispercast is 
probably best used in a college or High school setting where they are buying 
dozens of kindles. It avoids the issue of patron purchasing by limiting the 
ability to purchase items from the kindle itself.

As far as putting all the different types of books on  different kindles-I 
would imagine that just having all of them on all the kindles would be much 
easier. We have created different "collections" within the kindles so people 
can browse easier, but this way, they know that if they check out a kindle, the 
book they want will be on it, and they can also enjoy looking at other possible 
titles that are loaded on them. If you have more than 6, it would make more 
sense to separate them by genre in groups of 6 kindles.

At the conference in Houston, we will be talking practical matters about this 
and other things regarding e-books and cataloging them, etc, at a Wednesday 
session.

Subject: [ha-Safran] recent experiences with e readers

Hi all,

I'm writing a proposal for buying and loading e-readers for our library. I've 
read through the past discussions, but I'm wondering if anyone has recent 
comments to add. It looks like Amazon is now offering a whispercast program 
https://whispercast.amazon.com/ that allows an administrator/librarian to 
control all of the content on the kindles (and without having to put any credit 
card info on the device). Has anyone here used whispercast yet?

I'm thinking of trying putting different types of books on different 
kindles...a couple with children's books (to lend to parents!), a couple with 
teen books, a couple with new fiction and biography, and maybe a couple with 
classic texts. But I really want to build on others experiences. You can 
respond to the list, or just to me at 
tbe_libr...@templebethemeth.org

Thanks!

Clare Kinberg
